That is until he meets Lola, a drag queen whose sparkle and unsteady heels might just hold the answer to saving the struggling business. Johannes Radebe will not be appearing at all performances. The Producer cannot guarantee the appearance of any artist at any specific performance and reserves the right to substitute an alternate artist when required as a result of the indisposition, injury or illness of a member of the performing company of the production.
West End. Born and talent-nurtured in Zamdela Sasolburg, Johannes Radebe started dancing at the tender age of 7, fascinated by the discipline and the glamour of Ballroom and Latin. Over the next 13 years, Johannes competed in local competitions working himself up the Latin ranks, with top honours, eventually adding ballroom and different dance styles like African Contemporary and Jazz to provincial colours for Gauteng, being a finalist at national dance competitions and getting an invitation to compete internationally in St Petersburg, Russia.
Travelling the world and doing what he loved opened up a whole new perspective on what life could hold for him. Persistence and experience saw this young, vibrant South African given more responsibilities including choreographing, teaching new dancers, and then eventually being promoted to Dance Captain.
After an exhilarating two years of travelling the world and showcasing South African talent at its best, Johannes desired to return home.
When the offer came to join the debut season of the international hit show Dancing With The Stars in South Africa, it was an opportunity he simply could not refuse. The debut season of Dancing With The Stars was a massive success and once again threw Johannes into the international spotlight. From the first series, the audience loved him and on his second series he was lucky enough to be partnered with Catherine Tyldesley and also dance the first same-sex routine with fellow Strictly star Graziano Di Prima.
